This is lame, but I finished my new ironing board that I have been thinking about for a long time. I covered half of my cutting table with that batting that is heat resistant and then used a cotton shower curtain that I had picked up at TJ Maxx several years ago for a buck. I love this big ironing surface since I very seldom make anything smaller than a queen.My second finish this week (and I promise I will not post about this again) is that very old flimsie I got from a friend.
It is blizzarding here today so I guess I need to start pin basting a UFO that is back to being a PIP.
Happy Friday
I LOVE the idea of how you made that ironing board. I too make larger projects, and nothing annoys me more than the "inchworm" ironing process on a standard size board. I guess I know what hubby is doing this weekend with me!
ReplyDeleteLove your FMQ looks great!!
ReplyDeleteWas the antique quilt already quilted and you machine quilted over it? Or was it just a quilt top? I have several antique quilts from my great-grandmother that need to be repaired so they can be enjoyed. I have been wondering about machine quilting over parts of them.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you did a great job:)
Your quilting is just LOVELY!
ReplyDeleteGreat finishes Mary! Your quilt is lovely, and I understand being excited about your new ironing cover (I was excited when I made one too...ha).
